Longest Street Car Line in the World.

Longest Street Car Line in the World.
The longest street car line in the world is
in Argentine Republic, South America, and
it win also be the only line in the world to
run sleeping cars for the accommodation of
its patrons. The road has 200 miles of track
connecting a number of towns in the vi
cinity of Buenos Ayres, and its equipment
has been supplied by a Philadelphia car
company. Horses are used as motive power
instead of steam, because fuel is dear,
horses cheap and the people are slow. Two
tons OF coal will buy horse and harness.
The sleeping cars are a curiosity. They are
four in number, eighteen feet in length, and
are furnished with four berths each, which
are made to roll up when not in use.

A LONG CHASE.
Some ROUGH RIDING THROUGH TWO
VIRGINIA COUNTIES.
An Exciting Episode in Brunswick
and Lunenburg- Pursuing
Supposed Murderer.

Correspondence OF the Richmond DIspatch.l
JANUARY IL, 1887.
The quiet old county of Brunswick
was aroused last Monday by dozen or
more horsemen galloping down the
public highway leading from Robertson
ferry to Pcnnington's bridge. They
were armed with pistols and shotguns,
and inquired Of the people if they had
seen deaf-and-dumb man pass answer
ing to the description OF Walter l..
Bingham, the murderer Of Miss Lizzie
burlington, whom they claimed had
been recognized in the vicinity of DIR. |
r. S. Powell's, three miles from the
ferry. But the man managed by ira
yelling through the woods and crossing
the Meherrin river in private boat be-
tween n public ferry and bridge to
evade his pursuers. One of the pur-
uers, in his ardor, has informed Gov
ernor Scales, advising him OF the
whereabouts of 1.-the murderer. Last
night your correspondent was informed
that bingham had been seen on
Monday evening on the north side OF
the river by reliable citizen of the
county, who had given him food.
We decided to summon two more
men and start at once III the
direction of Lunenburg TO make
the arrest and secure the reward OF
81 900 that is reported to be offered.
We started off, two going one road and
two the other, with the understanding
that we should make inquiries at every
house and finally meet at the Mlddlte
of the World (anoted place in Lunen-
burg. We had not rode very far be-
fore we learned that bingham had
visited several places dufing the day
begging food, also asking for money
for a blind sister, whom he said lived
in Maryland. He had only travelled
six miles in forty-eight hours, stopping
overnight with farmers and III unten-
anted houses. We rode until /
o'clock, riding some twenty miles
and arousing sevcnty-hve TO eighty
families along the line, all Of whom
cheerfully gave what information they
could. We adjourned overnight with
one Of Lunenburg's most hospitable
farmers, feeling confident that the fu-
gitive could not be more than a mile or
so from us. Next morning We were re-
inforccd by large party of LuEenburg
men, and, after several bours' hard
riding, captured THE murderer about
9 o'clock, not more than mile from
the barn he slept in. He made no re-
sistance, but seemed to be very much
frightened. We drew our paper
containing a description of Bing-
ham, and found it did not fit our
prisoner III any particular, except
that the latter was deaf and partially
dumb, and was we'll educated. His
whispering was audible. Instead OF be-
ing six feet high, dark hair and eyes,
twenty-five years old, scars on neck,
doformcd nose, &c., he was only five
feet four inches. light hair and blue
eyes chair little gray, ell Of forty
wears old, no scars on neck. He gave
as his name John Sumner, weaver 10y
profession, and was on his way North.
We gave him a certificate that he was
not Walter L. Bingham, for which he
seemed very grateful. Texas.

Tongcrs Using RiheS-Thcy Drive
Off TIE DredgcrS.

A Centreville (Md.) special says
The southwestern portion OF the Fifth
district of this county is inhabited prin-
cipally by a hardy, industrious class OF
people who eie out livelihood by
longing oysters from the waters Of
Chester river and Eastern bay. These
men battle with the elements all the
year round, catching oysters in winter
and fish and crabs in summer, and re-
gard the many valuable Oystcr-bcds in
these waters as their own property. The
oyster-beds in Chester river, from Swan
Point to Eel Point and from Love
Point to Queenstown creek, have proved
valuable and fertile to these toilers.
and any day when not interrupted by
ice the surface of the water for miles IL
covered bya multitude OF canoes hover
ing over the resting-placcs Of the lus-
cious biyalycs. The oystermen have
built a considerable village near the
banks of Chester river, and are bound
together by an offensive and defensive
alliance that makes them an important
factor in politics OF the county. Be
tween these tongcrs and the dredgers
there has long existed an intense rival
~. and no love is lost on either side.
The latter lose no opportunity to forage
upon the grounds of the former. and,
having swift vessels and definite
knowledge OF the whereabouts of the
oyster police Sloop, usually escape the
strong arm of the law with considerable
plunder =,
During the recent freeze the local
police sloop has been ice-bOund some
where in the Chester river, leaving the
beds in the vicinity of Love and Swan
Points unguarded. Almost every day
during the past week feet Of dredgers
have been trespassing upon these for
hidden grounds, under the eyes of the
exasperatcd tongers, who were power
less to prevent the dcspoiling OF the
bars. A request was forwarded TO Gov
enor Lloyd for the service Of steamer
to drive off the invaders, and word was
returned that the steamer Governor
Hamilton had been ordered 10 the
rescue, but the steamer had not been
seen at latest accounts. Most of the
ovstcrmen are armed, and they deter
mined to do what they could to protect
themselves and their pet oyster bars.
On Friday morning nearly one hun
bred dredgors were seen at work in the
mouth of the river, and many OF them
close in-shore. A large company of
tongers, armed with rifles, old muskets,
and shotguns hurried on Kent island,
intrenched themselves along the shore,
and opened fire on the dredgers. This
was the signal for a general running
battle, and, us the majority of the in
vaders carried repeating rifles, the fire
was warmly returned. For several hours
the battle was hot and exciting,
squadrons of dredgers continuing the
battle, while others worked away
at the bars. Finally, the persistent
tongcrs drove the dredgers off the bars
near shore and out Of the reach of rifle
shot. The engagement is said to have
been warm and general while it lasted,
although no casualties are reported
! among the tongers. 1t is not known
whether any dredgers were hurt. The
tcngers are determined to protect them
selves, and will make it warm i'll the
future for any dredgers coming within
| rife shot of shore.
